The Jewish Holiday Kitchen by Joan Nathan

Softcover. As new. "This is a 'must" for anyone interested in learning about Jewish food, and by far the best book for those who love to cook it." —Paula Wolfert "Every recipe comes swathed in tradition, as though handed down through the ages by a collective family. Discover in these pages the essence of true indefinable Jewish flavor." —Grace Kirschenbaum, The World of Cookbooks "An excellent book, where everyone from the modern Jewish bride to the food scholar can find something to learn." —Madeleine Kamman "This is how holiday cooking should be—warm, welcoming, and straight from the heart." —Anne Willan By adding over fifty new recipes, Joan Nathan has improved and expanded what is already considered the classic Jewish cookbook. With recipes from around the world—from Algeria to Russia, from Italy to Mexico— this is the most complete collection of specific dishes for the eight major holidays, the Sabbath, and all the special occasions in the life of the Jewish family—wed-dings, birth ceremonies, and bar and bat mitzvahs. Each holiday or occasion is considered in terms of its history, religious food requirements, and traditions, with several menus suggested for each. Among the new recipes are some favorites from the new generation of Jewish chefs. Joan Nathan contributes articles on international ethnic food and special holiday features to The New York Times and Gourmet. ISBN: 9780805209006
